A former manager at a Katy-area technology camp has been accused of having sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy about two years ago at the facility.

Anthony Tang, 38, is charged with sexual assault and indecency with a child while he was manager at the Camp Katy Technology Camp, which was then in the 400 block of the West Grand Parkway South, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies said activities at the camp included juveniles spending the night.

The charges stemmed from comments a now 16-year-old boy made recently to his therapist in Oregon, who contacted local authorities, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

To help with the investigation, the boy made a trip back to Texas from Oregon, where his family now lives, Gilliland said.

Officials with the camp could not be reached for comment.

Deputies asked that other people who believe they may have been victimized by Tang to contact authorities.

Given that Tang had daily exposure to children and juveniles and sometimes was with them for overnight events, officials wanted to see if there might be other victims, Gilliland said.

"If the stigma of being a sexual assault victim is holding them back, by every right we want them to come forward, for us to prosecute this individual," he said.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office 713-830-3250 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS.
